There are not so many fabric shops in Strasbourg, well not in centre-ville anyway, but there is one. A super cute little one called Petite Emilienne. It is tucked away in 21 Rue Sainte-Madeleine. It is a tiny tiny tiny shop but stocks a great little range of books and fabrics, including my ever favourite Liberty of London, France's own France Duval Stalla and you can even order your own 'dans ma petite valise'.
I was in there the other day looking for some fabric for my Laurel and I came away with a couple of gems....
This has got to be the coolest laminated fabric I've seen in ages. Petite Emilienne has it made up into a tote bag with fluoro bias binding that is on display in the shop. I had to get the materials for exactly the same, naturally! I am now thinking though that I didn't buy enough binding ..
This sparkly trim was used in the shop display on a very cute Liberty bag. I bought several metres of this.... but I couldn't quite work out if I was told that it was auto collant (sticky) or not. Another d'accord moment!
And I also bought these little scissors as I didn't bring my usual ones to France... why not!?
